My V6 vs. Volvo
Ok So I Was At a Light And This Volvo 850 Pulls Up Next To Me. And He Started Reving Up His SWEDISH MUSCLE! lol So I Give Him A Little Show By Reving up The Dual Flowmaster 40's Which I Am In Love With :P So THe Light Turns Green And We Both Floor It, At First We Were Even Until I Hit Second And Gained About Half a Car Length On Him, But I Figured I Would Be Pulling Harder And Gain More But He Stayed On My Door,This Was The First Run And We Hit About 60. The Second Run We Take Off About Equal Again And Second Gear I Pull Away And Through The Gears I Keep Pulling And Slowly Take The Lead And I Have To Slow Down So I Can Pull On To My Road And Be Then I Have About 2.5 Car Lengths On Him. It Boogles My Mind That I Didn't Blow Him Away, I Know The Car Because The Driver Was My Buddy, And All He Has Is An Intake On It.
What Can I Do To My Car To Make It Faster?
I Have Dual Exhaust
And An Intake That I Still Have To Install...Anything Else?

Watch out for any models that say T5! They would give a stock new edge a hard time. An S60R would put lengths on a new edge. If it's the manual S60R it would be a drivers race for a Mach 1, plus it would outhandle any of our cars in the turns.
Don't be fooled by the name Volvo. It's not just safety, it's safety and speed.
...........wow, I sound like a damn commercial or something

Volvo's are pretty quick if their turbo'd! My wife had an S40 turbo that would put a hurting on many an unsuspecting ricer.

I Have A Few Buddies That Own Volvos One Is The 850 I Raced And The Other Is The S70...I Can't Believe How Fast Those Cars Are...
Oh And As The Captial Letter Thing Goes I Type Just As Fast As I Would Normally, I Got Into This Habit For Some Odd Reason And Can't Stop...Its So Hard Writing Term Papers For School :P
Also The Car I Raced Is A Non Turbo And An Automatic Like Mine. I Think I Might Get My Baby Tuned After I Take Her Out For The Summer And Install My Intake The Intake This Week.
And Maybe Order Some Parts......
